A scene from Stripes 1981
Recruiter

I'm not saying the army will do for you what it did for me. All I'm saying is you get out of it exactly what you put into it. Sometimes, the army's your best shot. Now there a couple of questions I have to ask you, they're a little personal; Have you ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor? That's robbery, rape, car theft, that sort of thing.

Winger

Convicted? No.

Russell

Never convicted.

Recruiter

That's good. Are either of you, uh, homosexual?

Winger

You mean like flaming?

Recruiter

Well, it's a standard question we have to ask.

Russell

No, we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.

Winger

Yeah ... would they send us someplace special?

Recruiter

I guess that's "no" on both. Now if you could just give Uncle Sam your autograph here.

Winger

[signing]

"Sammy, get well soon"

Recruiter

That's good, now your name.
[Winger hums dramatic music as he passes the pen to Russell who also signs]
